I am getting my hood in tomorrow (technically today), and I wanted to do the liberty of posting the results for all of you who have thought about buying one of these. It will probably be a few weeks before the hood is put on because the car is currently relocated, but I'll take pictures of everything for all of you. I'm hoping things turn out good, but we'll see when it gets here.

Getting this box in here by myself wasn't the easiest task.. then again - I'm not the biggest guy in the world, either.




Just cracked open the box now.


I can see in the light there's a pinhead dent. Not detrimental by any means, but it's definitely there.


Halfway out of the box now.. hopefully, there's not any more dents (or major ones.. this one I can live with.)

Final result.


All in all, I'm satisfied assuming the fitment goes well. So far, so good.

Hope it goes good for you.
Hedders too?? Birthday??

Any way, have fun!

looks good!! take the screen off the cowl tho..

DeltaElite121

Actually, yes. Not my birthday, though. My car has been sitting for two years, and it's finally time to do it justice and bring it back home with a new sound, and a new look.




More on the way, as well.

I just bought this hood... The whole purpose of this thread was to show the quality of these hoods, not to sell it. Check the FOR SALE section of the forum.

Not a big fan of cowl hoods with that big spine right down the middle - Looks wayyy too old school for our cars.

DeltaElite121

To each their own I guess. In perspective - the other style hoods look too "new" and make the car feel plain. I think this style hood flows with the contours of the car well - much better than many of the hoods out there.

how does the hood fit? does it have underhood bracing so that you cant run a big air filter?

That looks allot like my Goodmark steel hood. Look on the bottom side towards the front. It could say Goodmark. If your going to cut out the holes to open up the cowl be sure to do it before painting it. If it is a Goodmark than I have the same hood.(or they may be made by the same company just labeled under different names.)As far as quality goes you are right on the money.Second to none IMHO.I'm not trying to steal your thread with my photo but thought you would like to see it in a finished state.The nose on mine could probably come down about another 1/2 in. but the new side hood stops and pins on mine are nice and snug the way it is so I'm leaving it alone for now.The hood pins are far from necessary. I have them for my own reasons.

Wow did I forget about this thread!!!!

How is the ride??
Hope things are working out so far!!

X2 for a pic???

DeltaElite121

Things really took a crash course as far as funds so I've been held back for awhile. The car has been sitting at another location so I haven't gotten a chance to bolt the hood on. We've been trying to get the car running, and it will be rolling into the paint booth not too long after. I'll be sure to keep this updated though as I think the quality of the hood is excellent and nobody should be afraid to order from JEGS.

I agree as far as going to Jegs. But I am on a no dollar diet so I looked around and saw a steel hood w/2"cowl for 350 plus shipping or so from steelhoods.com and at times they have a good sale. Still cant wait to see it. What color?

DeltaElite121

I will be using RONUS's paint stripe pattern (ironically, he has the same spoiler as I do and they're exactly the same.. which is incredibly rare since we both have the '88 low rise spoiler). I am thinking I want to paint it black with silver stripes as a tribute to my first Camaro that I hydroplaned and hit a tree totalling it out.
